Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene this past weekend -- and a glimpse at what’s to come next week.

TCU has reached the College Football Playoff for the first time.

Kendre Miller scored on a 2-yard run in the second overtime and 13th-ranked TCU beat No. 8 Oklahoma State 43-40 in a matchup of the Big 12′s last remaining undefeated teams.

Bijan Robinson ran for three touchdowns in the first half and Texas rebounded from a humiliating loss a week earlier by pounding Rice 58-0.
